Toulouse claimed their 21st French title with a comprehensive 18-8 victory against La Rochelle in a disappointing Top 14 final on Friday.

Stand-in flyhalf Thomas Ramos opened the scoring with a penalty and added a drop goal after being set up by scrumhalf Antoine Dupont 25 metres from the posts. He added another penalty with Cheslin Kolbe putting them 12-0 ahead with a stunning 50-metre drop goal. La Rochelle reduced the arrears through Ihaia West early in the second half but they were sanctioned for their ill discipline repeatedly with Ramos slotting two more penalties.Trailing by 15 points, La Rochelle played more freely and Dany Priso bundled over from a maul to make their defeat less humiliating.
